Sprocket

I’ve walked past Sprocket Roasters on Hunter St Newcastle before, but haven’t headed in to try their home-roated coffee before… but it was a such as gorgeous day on Saturday that my parents and I said “Why not? Let’s have another coffee before the train comes!” (while the trains still run, hey?

Darby Street Eats

Even when I’m only in Newcastle for a short stay, I tend to have a few meals on Darby Street :)

3 Monkeys, Darby St
Fruit salad with almond cous cous for breakfast from 3 Monkeys

It’s been awhile since I’m been to 3 Monkeys, mostly because I’ve had quite bad service there in the past. But I was impressed with this different breakfast.

The Kitchen on Darby Street

One of many lunches out over this Chrissy/New Year was with my family at a new cafe on Darby Street, simply called The Kitchen.

Coffee @ The Kitchen, Darby St
I started with a soy latte (they recently had to switch off the Bonsoy) while waiting, cos it takes a little longer for my sister to get going now there’s also a baby to bundle into the car too!

Then his mum came, and tried to steal the baby… not that my father was going to have any of that, and whisked him off to the car later :p
